Your friend wants to run a Tor Hidden Service.
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html.en
Basically, you have a regular web server. Then you install tor on it. And instead of accepting connections from the internet, the web server accepts connections from Tor. If he already has a website set up, it's just a matter of configuration to get it working over Tor.

edar, I found this link I had which I totally forgot about. It details all you need to do to set up a hidden service on the "information underground", the Hidden Web. It goes into great detail about each and every step and will be a perfect start for your friend to achieve his goal. Here's the link -

Good luck with it all and let me know if you get things up and running some day.
Wadozo.

I'm sure yesterday you were advertising bitcoins all over your forum profile and now you've suddenly morphed into a host and designer of Onion sites, offering to not only design and build it, but also assist edar in finding someone to host it for him on their network.
If you were to set up and run a Tor Hidden Service to sell drugs, the last thing you would do is leave it in the hands of a complete stranger to run it for you, including setting the site up and hosting it on an ongoing basis. The point of a Hidden Service is to keep things Hidden. the more people that know about it = more of a chance of coming undone and your anonymity being revealed for all to see. DPR doesn't trust others with SR and rightly so. Hence the reason it's so far stayed out of the view from Police and Hackers still looking for it.
